The Balancing Act Of Womanhood

"Women are a balancing act
Don't eat too much, don't eat too little. Don't be fat, don't be too skinny. God, do you ever stop eating? Woah, do you ever eat? The not-so-well-concealed looks of disgust, the not-so-well concealed looks of concern.
Don't be loud. Don't be quiet. Have a voice in society, leave the talking to the big boys. You want something, speak up! No, no, when it's your turn, sweetie. Ugh, she never shuts up, it's obnoxious. 
Have you ever heard her talk? I don't even know what her voice sounds like. 
Make sure your skirt is long enough, but not too long. Don't make yourself too available, but you don't want to look like a grandma. Show off what you got, but if you do it's your fault if anything happens. Was your skirt long enough? How is any boy going to look at you if you wear that? 
Have sex, but stay innocent. Give us what we want, but we hate sluts. Virgins are so sweet. What do you mean you want to stay abstinent until marriage? Do you even live in our society? Life without is is boring. Life with sex is disgusting. God, ave you seen her? Shes banged every guy in school.
God, have you seen her? Still a virgin at her age.
Be smart, but not too smart. Boys like a smarter girl. Boys cant stand it when you know more than them. Play dumb. Ugh, not that dumb, god, were you even listening? They like a smarter girl. No, no, now you just look like a nerd. Girls don't belong in the classroom, they have to take care of the kids. You want a well-paying job? Take some incentive and study. You cant slack off because you're a girl. 

Do what you love, but don't. Be yourself, unless it goes against what we say. Do what you love to do your hair and makeup? Great, you're good to go. Approved. Do you love video games and guns? You're faking it. You're lying. You're pretending. You're wrong.
